Wendy Williams issued a swift diss to singer Beyoncé yesterday on her morning talk show. (December 6, 2012).
Being that it’s not the first time Wendy has gone in on the superstar diva, it shouldn’t be much of a surprise. If you recall, Wendy publicly questioned Beyonce’s baby bump back when she was pregnant and even did a live on-air demonstration.

This time, as the talk show maven was dishing her Hot Topics of the Day, she brought up Beyoncé’s upcoming self-directed HBO documentary. In support of the show, Wendy states:
I am a Beyoncé fan… I’m gonna watch her upcoming documentary because fortunately one of the TVs in our kitchen has closed captioning so I’ll be able to understand what she says.
You know Beyoncé can’t talk. She sounds like she has a fifth grade education.
Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

It seems Wendy’s own audience didn’t take kindly to the catty diss and some even boo’d her. She quickly calmed the crowd with her quick wit, stating:
Excuse me! I just said I was a fan. But we have to call a spade a spade….
A spade a spade? Hmmmm…. I wonder if Williams will ever talk about her $419,000 shoe bill and all those poor factory works who haven’t gotten paid yet? That’s certainly a hot topic too…. right?
Props to TattleTalz for the video!

She’s right lol she should be a lesson to our kids to finish school
I agree!
I don’t see where Wendy said anything that wasn’t true.Shallow people will look at how much money she has as if that trumps how dumb she has made herself appear but Beyonce is DUMB!
I used to be a fan of Beyonce and I would get so mad when people talked about her but once I took off the blinders I could see what people meant.
Several years ago Beyonce went to Egypt and the guide for her tour told the Egyptian media that Beyonce was DUMB and he was in awe at just how dumb she was,I was a fan then and I was mad but now I understand what he meant.
The letters that Beyonce wrote to Obama and his wife showed just how stupid she really is…
Beyonce is also a horrible actress.I recall her being a movie with Idris Elba,who is so fine to me and he is a great actor and as great as he was in the movie,I can’t even remember the movie because Beyonce made the movie so bad with her horrendous acting.
Beyonce is boring as hell and the biggest word in her vocabulary is "amazing"…..
…don’t 4get "BEAUTIFUL" & "INSPIRING" lol
LOL,So true I forgot about "beautiful and inspiring"…
…..dayum ya’ll some haters…ya’ll so jealous of Ms. Beyonce cause yall will never be her….a man could fuxx a thousand women like ya’ll…all he has 2 do is walk into a room full of ugly, out of shape women & diss a beautiful, successful woman like Beyonce by saying something like "Beyonce is ugly, I would never want a woman who…." and ya’ll panties would hit the floor….Wendy W is an ugly bycth…she was born ugly, she will live her entire life being ugly, & she will die ugly…some things will NEVER change….Beyonce can by the finest education & improve, WW & ugly bycthes can’t buy a new face or body & look better though…….
If this isn’t the dumb glorifying the dumb ^^^^^^^^^^
Sir A go pat your itchy quick weave and take a GED class, take Beyonce with you while you at it. YALL can study together. Maybe she can even"by" you some common sense.
or she could BUY you a dictionary!
This must be Beyonce on here trying to spell.
I am SO SICK of pitiful Blacks like you that have such pathetic lives that you live vicariously through a woman that cares NOTHING about you.
You Beyonce worshipers are always calling people UGLY just because we don’t worship Beyonce but no one is calling her ugly,many of us are saying she’s DUMB.Surely you are not even suggesting that all of Beyonce fans such as yourself are CUTE because that would be just as stupid to as assuming that everyone that doesn’t worship Beyonce are ugly.
Remember when Beyonce thought she was going to win that Oscar? Bwhahahahaha!
lol lol yeah she was too salty..she had already stated she wanted an oscar an emmy a tony a baby and husband by the age of 30…lol lol wow…lol im so glad jhud won! lol
You crazy get help please.
I’m sorry but she really does sound uneducated…Wendy is a mess..lmaoooooo
Wendy Williams need 2 shut the freak up…first of all she needs 2 pay them little factory people they dayum money…..secondly, since were callin a spade a spade let’s also call a drag queen a drag queen….I would like 2 know if she was really born a women cause she looks and is built like a man….with them cheap axx shoes…."how YOU doin????"
Wendy Williams calls it like she sees it, on to the next one Wendy. Sometimes Celebs need a "Wake Up Call" from someone who is not in "Their Camp"…..Keep spilling the TEA Wendy.
"Sometimes Celebs need a "Wake Up Call" from someone who is not in "Their Camp" "
Right. Everyone has told Beyonce how beautiful she is, but no one is telling her how dumb she sounds.
She’s telling the truth.
I could see people being upset if Wendy Williams was being dishonest. This is a case of the elephant in the room. Every adult who has listened to a Beyonce interview not on a Viacom is aware that she has a limited vocabulary and poor speech skills. She often mumbles and has inappropriately used words in the taped conversation. Fantasia, Mary J Blige, Cyndi Lauper, Debbie Harry, and the iconic Diana Ross have all be accused of being talented artists with less than favorable speaking skill. Why does Beyonce get a pass?
Money doesn’t trump education. Or at least it shouldn’t. Probably why our youth are so screwed up….people think because you got long money, it’s alright to be dumb.
being talented and classy doesnt even compare to having knowledge!!!! sorry but agree with everyone else the girl needs to go back to school… Wit her country behind
I think Bey’s speech has improved tremendously- clearly she’s received some coaching in this area. Toward the beginning it was much worse; very flat sounding- much like her mom.
Lol, that’s what I just said! Funny how you noticed that too.
And that’s why Beyonce will never be a guest on her show, She has not changed from how she was in the past. I recall her talking about Faith Evans negatively, anything to keep a wack show relevant, I guess.
Lol@ at your comment as if Wendy cares about her dumb ass being on her show.
Wend is spot on! I want to know who her ghost writer is for those letters she claimed she wrote! Chile cheese!
Sorry but Wendy is correct on dat one lol
and so who does wendy williams speak like? her voice sounds so annoying thats why i stop watching her show.
I’m NOT a B fan… She may talk like a 5th grader.. But that bank account on a 29th grade level tho. That’s that. IJS
Some people just aren’t good with public speaking I admit she may need to take time out to focus on furthering her education…but that was such a low blow to a very successful and talented woman, God blessed her with a talent that she can use as a platform and she has done amazing things for black young girls in the community, What has Wendy done? Beyounce still has time to further education if she see’s fit that’s a decision she can make on her own, at the end of the day as a Black woman with a platform she didn’t have to say that how about reaching out and helping! IJS
Well singing we run dis maf*cka is not uplifting or inspiring cuz let’s be forreal white men run dis shit and white women after dat…Beyonce is a blond hair wearing white woman wanna be negro…twice as bad!! At least Wendy got a damn Bachelors degree..beyonce pushing 37 walkin around here talkin bout she 30!! Negro please! And THAT’S Y SHE AIN’T SHOW HER ALLEGED BABYBUMP! Cuz there wasn’t one!! Either she past her prime in the baby making department or Jiggaman got STD jizz…IJS…
Wendy’s right tho…
Beyonce’s vocabulary is very limited and so is Mary J. She stutter’s but I think she’s improved, I think.
U didn know lol.
She’s just being brutally honest- that’s her MO. She can’t change who she it. It aint like she aint like this with everybody.
Well, well, well. All these ghetto comments n regards to Beyonce’s speech? Uummmm, let’s work on saggin pants, ratchet housewive tv shows and carrying purses that cost more than our 401 k’s. People, we really need to stop. We always find something to talk about. Can’t just let Beyonce be the star she is. Nope. Gotta find something to say.
u “didn” know ^^^^^ lol some of ya really nesd to shut the f@#$ up for real cause according to ya profiles, I would not have to much to say lol. “studied at Ghetto University” hahahaha go sit ya @$$ down somewhere
o and my bad not “ghetto” bit GETTO…..SMMFH!!!
That hateful UNCLE TOM drag witch needs to be shut the F*** DOWN!sHE’s the one who should talk about somebody’s intellence? Yes, she "talks" for a living but her ass is as dumb as they come!
Yes!!! She made a slick azz comment about Jay-Z not calling Robert De Niro back. Said if Jay-Z hadnt been out campaigning with President Obama he could have returned his call. That’s when turned the damn TV and put this bitch on pause.
Who the hell is Robert De Niro to President Obama – if I’m out with the President, if it isn’t Bey or Blue calling I’m not answering.
The blogs started lighting up then too about how she is a Republican. To each his own i guess…but this bitch need to pay them bills and shut the hell up worrying about who’s hanging with Obama.
Well….if the red bottom fits. And in this case it most certainly does! O_o
She is correct. B sounds uneducated when she speaks, unsure of herself, hence, a child.
I don’t think an education was the most important thing to her parents…let’s not act like bey does not have any law suits against her….it just is what it is, wish them all well!!
Exactly!
That’s what’s wrong with black people now. They don’t value education.
What difference does it make? Bey can let her money talk for her and anybody hatin like Mr Wendy Williams need to get they bread right. You think Beyonce give a fuck what this bitch think?
PREACH!!!! People that live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. "Mr. Wendy" bahahahahahaha you’re a mess!
Leave Beyonce alone. She is not harming no one. People are so messy!
Wendy William is a big bone baffoon!!! Not everyone feels comfortable speaking in public. Beyonce has a southern drawl!!! Better she speaks slowly than be a cracked out drag queen that is Wendy Williams. The saying people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones is true. Wendy William need to worry less about Beyonce speech and worry about why is she trying to be the drag queen version of Beyonce!!!
Beyonce isn’t the greatest speaker but her career isn’t being an English teacher or Public Speaker.
Just because a person isn’t articulate doesn’t make them uneducated. I know people who have degrees and aren’t the greatest speakers but not once have I thought "Oh they’re dumb because there speech isn’t up to par to what I think it should be". A lot of people aren’t great at public speaking or get really nervous when speaking in front of a camera. Have you ever noticed that when Beyonce talks during her performances, she seems more confident/secure in her speech. Performing is her comfort zone and I think she’s just socially awkward when she’s off stage, which is the case with A LOT of entertainers(Singers,Actors,Dancers). Entertainers go into another mind frame whenever they are performing because it’s their passion but yet when they’re off stage it’s like where did the personality/confidence go?
It’s okay to "say it like you mean it"(Wendy Williams) but sometimes it’s best to keep your mouth shut and not throw stones especially whenever you’re living in a glass house yourself.

Great comment…
Girl, eat those feelings and hush! She did not call Beyonce dumb. Wendy made a sly comment (as is the basis of her career) that Beyonce’s speech leaves much to be desired. There are many types of intelligence, and while Beyonce may not be passing anybody’s SAT, she clearly has a business intelligence to be envied. There is no need to get worked up into defense mode over what one stranger-to-you’s opinion is of another stranger-to-you.
No one’s worked up. I’m stating MY opinion. Take it or leave it.
She doesn’t have any business intelligence. Her dad and Jay-Z were/are the business intelligence behind her. She wasn’t making nan business deal with that speech. Someone with business intelligence knows how important speech communication is, hence the reason why Jay-Z and Matthew Knowles do not sound stupid like her.
Complements to some of what you said. I know many people (educated) who’s diction (speaking) IMO makes them sound uneducated, but have read reports or other papers by some of these same individuals and would have never thought, "this came from that". I quickly learned that speaking and/or writing diction do not always mirror for each individual.
Regarding Beyonce, her southern drawl is thick, but, I personally have never heard her speak anything unintelligible enough, that would require closed captioning. To me, Wendy crossed the line with that part of the comment. Wendy never spoke of her "limited vocabulary" as others here have. She said, "Beyonce can’t talk". I took that to mean, that what she hears come out of Beyonce’s mouth is mumbo jumbo to the point that Wendy doesn’t understand what Beyonce is saying, which will require her to turn the closed captioning on the kitchen t.v. during the documentary.
That was just rude and shady.
Wendy probably should have said Beyonce "sounds" or "talks" like a 5th grader.
Beyonce should just be categorized as a foreigner trying to speak English. She is a hood rat at the core and you can tell she talks like a hood rat at home because when it comes time to speak in public she’s looking for the words to say and it comes out sounding like broken English. Just like if we all tried to speak Japanese, we would have to stop and think about the words first to make sure we had the right word, then speak. Proper English is her second language and she can’t speak it well because she doesn’t practice it. Plain and simple.
But look at the people who look up to her. Young girls. She’s teaching them that all you need to do is look good, get a rapper husband, become a singer, and you will be just like her. That’s not reality. Life is not all about money and glitz. Young BLACK girls need to know that if they are not articulate and educated, they wil be passed over for those who are. THAT is reality. Beyonce’s not doing much now. Why can’t she go to college? Oh I know why, because she doesn’t think it’s important. She may have money and good looks, but without wisdom and knowledge what good is she to anyone? What good is she to your own young daughter?
Stands up and applauds-Thank you for this entire comment.
Hmmm #Wonders if Wendy is functioning on those drugs again! I mean really! Not because of this comment – but because of her face
Wendy’s bitter republican azz needs to pay those Chinese women and chirren the half million she owes them for the goods they delivered. Think twice before attacking the POTUS’s #1 positive cheerleaders. AND get ready to pay govt. taxes on the half mil you stole when we jump off that cliff. We’ll get your taxes one way or another witch Wendy.
And that MATH alone makes Bey smarter than you’ll ever be
It’s like, no wonder your house looks like the Taj Mahal on "Jungle Fever". Shag rugs, shag pillows and ANTLER LAMP/COAT RACK? Biotch puleeeze. Drugs are bad Makay.
Not to mention that horrific so called art work. A HORSE? REALLY??
"Makay."
Bwhahahahahaha!!!!!
lmaooo!
Gurl, who cares?! The key to life, money, power, respect…
Anyway, Wendy where is the money you owe those people? Talk about that!
Dana T.
The drag queen needs to chill out and focus on her own flaws….maybe here bank account and pay those people their money. I think she get off talking about people to keep her name out there. She has a lot of nerve posing for animal rights, but still rocking that hermes leather bag. You can’t protest against people wearing fur but rocking leather, animal made materials.
I love me some Latrice ROYALE, yes gawd "the shade of it all!!!!!".
Say what you want about Wendy, but when she throws that dart she often hits that bullseye. She’s right. She did give Beyonce accolades, though. It wasn’t all critical. I’ve read worse on this blog in the last 5 minutes based on disputing opinions lol.
No better than Wendy can read her damn self, I can’t see how she can throw shade at Beyonce. Catch her reading quotes during Hot Topics and see how she struggles with glasses on – I was wondered about HER literacy level as well. She is a messy broad. I’m ready for her show to go bye-bye anyway, seeing as how she really doesn’t do well with getting A-List celebs on her show these days.
A random singer pubbing a new cd or actor pubbing a new show but most times it’s a random reality tv persona looking to extend the 5 mins of fame. Her interview skills are just as subpar as her own reading…
She makes me tired, wow Michelle that’s a crazy Wendy pic you found for this post. Looks a mess!
Wendell may have the face & body of a an AGING CHEWBACCA, but the yeti is right! Have you’ll seen the preview to Beyoncé’s HBO special??? Talk about HOOKED ON PHONICS…I do adore the queen so don’t get it twisted lol!
Omg, why was I thinking of phonics earlier? Bwahahahaha…
Beyonce stans go hard…..Lmao….its ok …everyone has their shortcomings. Wendy stated the truth, and its how she always is…..no one is off limits. Both of them are highly successful in their own right. Beyonce is a music superstar and Wendy a media superstar! I’m proud of both of them!
Beyonce is dumb as bricks, and y’all know it. My 1st grader articulates better than her. Wendy was just telling the truth, but ppl act like its a crime to speak ill against Beyonce. That’s why she thinks its ok to steal songs, styles, and not fulfill contractual obligations(she’s being sued also-oop!)No way I’m watching this chick’s documentary, I refuse to hear her speak and stop to think about how to complete her sentence every 10 seconds. I will say she has improved since the DC days, though.
LMAO @ your entire TRUE comment.
"My 1st grader articulates better than her"
So does a cartoon character.
I have always thought that to be the case..the girl is illiterate!! Wendy was just speaking the truth that’s all.
I’ve always felt that Beyonce was very inarticulate. It’s kind of like the pink elephant in the room…it’s never mentioned…it actually lends credence to why we rarely hear her speak for an extended period of time or give tv interviews…most quotes from Beyonce are in print. she’s just off…i guess it’s being from Texas(country) and not really having an education from practicing to become a superstar.
I should have just read your comment before I posted mine. LOL. You already said everything I had to say.
It has not a thing to do with being from Texas, and it’s not even because she’s country. I have family in Tx and they are very educated and articulate. I’m a southern girl and I know I speak well-so the fact remains that Beyonce is just dumb as hell and it shows when she speaks. I bet Jay has better convos with Blue Ivy. And after "superstar" practice she should have hit the books with Kelly, Solange, and Letoya-they speak very well.
I am not a Wendy Williams fan because I feel like she is immature and way too old to be having this kind of a talk show that disses other people. But I agree with her on this one. I’ve said since the very beginning, way back in 2001 when I heard Beyonce talk for the first time on 106 & Park that she was VERY slow and inarticulate. Whenever you say something to someone and it takes them a few seconds to process what you said, then respond, something is off. You can always tell when someone didn’t finish high school. I also believe this is the reason Beyonce stays in hiding. She knows she is not a good speaker. But why not just take some Toastmasters classes? That right there proves how slow she is, because this is a solvable problem. If you’re going to be in the public eye, it doesn’t hurt to groom yourself for the public first. Do you think the Queen was going to send Prince Williams’ new basic "commoner" wife out in public before she got some kind of royal grooming first? Hell no. She had to be taught everything prior to dealing with the public. It’s all about presentation. Beyonces has the looks down, but when she speaks, those looks dwindle away and you can tell where she comes from. Her mother is this way as well. I’ve seen Tina on numerous occasions trying to sell stuff on HSN and its a horrible presentation. I had to turn the channel. And I really wanted to buy something from her too, but couldn’t listen to that. Needless to say, she is no longer on there. And speaking of selling stuff, Wendy needs to pay those Chinese people their money.
And if she can’t speak, we KNOW she can’t read or spell either. That’s why she’s not on Twitter, it’s all reading and writing, lol…
But she LOVIN Instagram..that speaks volumes.
One would think that when you enter into the entertainment business that they would want to improve their speech communication skills and diction because they know they are going go get interviewed at some point. My teacher in high school told our entire class that communication and speech is key if you want people to take you serious, especially if you’re black because they all think we speak street slang or we just don’t know how to talk. Have you noticed that most athletes can play ball but when they speak I just cringe and it’s such an embarrassment and turnoff. I often correct my nieces and nephews because I let them know first hand that they will not say "mo, flo, doe" and all that other mess in our house or around me. I will correct them very quickly and so far they have gotten better with their communication skills. There are three people who I love to hear speak because they speak very articulate is Oprah, Robin Givens, Suze Orman.
lol yes, that is why she stays in hiding!!! why isn’t she taking classes with a tutor or something in the meanwhile…lawd. all that money and you can still tell how uneducated she is. that letter she wrote to Michelle Obama was like some 7th grade group letter shit that your teacher stamps and mails for you.
Alright already. Yall win. Bey Could use some coaching. She does have a speech impediment. She’s focused on her craft which is dancing,singing and fashion. She’s successful in all of them and I think she has a positive core. Her hubby is her public orator and he does just fine. Also "Sasha Feirce" steps up if needed. Funny how some successful artists/people have this but only if they’re introverts. Michael/Janet Jackson. Prince for a time but when not pressed he speaks with authoritive clarity.
when Wendy can match Beyonce’s $$$$, then she can speak.
Wrong,Wendy can speak on this issue now just as you are speaking on it….
black will be the end of this country.
Did you intend to say that "blacks" will be the end of this country. And you call yourself wordsmith…oh, ok then.
Wendy, or Wendell as my husband calls him/her, I just stating her opinion like what everybody else do everyday. But Beyonce didn’t graduate from high school so she isn’t totally wrong.
Did she happen to mention Beyonce’s 4 million dollar Newyears eve gig. A $4,000,000.00 paycheck for a days work is not bad for a fifth grader.
I’m glad you know how many zeros are in 4 million, because we all know Beyonce doesn’t.
Will you stop already. There are several reasons why Beyonce speaks the way she does. 1. She was very shy and solitary when she was young, she didn’t get very much practice in speech as a child. The reason she was so lonely was because she was bullied and often left alone because she had fairer skin and hair. 2. She filters/thinks about what she says before she says it in order to make sure what she says is the best thing to say in accordance to the question. 3. The southern dialect She’s also not a bad influence, she actually went back to school to earn her G.E.D several years ago (earned my respect there). She is also not dumb, you will have no idea how great of a musician she is unless you study vocal pedagogy. She is matched by no other in her virtuosity at the moment. (except maybe Mariah Carey) If you think speech is the only thing that signifies someone’s intellegience you are sadly mistaken.
Why do broke people like you always count another person money?
The problem with many of you Beyonce worshipers is that many of you are shallow.You think because you are impressed with her bank account that everyone else is….
Amen
You just mad because you are not her.
Wendy is right, Beyonce need to take some of that money and take speech therapy.
Wendy just needs to keep her big mouth close
`
wendy just b/c ur a black woman(so we’re told)with her own day talk show, doesn’t mean u have a great speaking voice like oprah has!! u can barely get though hot topics without spitting, stuttering, & sipping on that nasty ass tea cup!! have a seat tranny :p
